Holly Waterproof Chelsea Boot (Women)

I got these boots for gardening. I wanted a pair that I could hose off without soaking through, and indeed, I can do that, which is great. I don't love the shape of the soles. I feel they are somehow very unstable, though I can't pinpoint why that is. I have rolled my ankle numerous times wearing these around my yard. What I dislike the most is how hard these rub the back of my legs. Even with thick socks they rub so hard my legs are on their way to raw after wearing and will burn in the shower. I have other Chelsea boots and I know that some running is a little bit of a hazard with the style, but unlike my other, leather pair, I don't think these will ever break in or loosen up. And my goodness, it just really hurts.
